• funkmonkey How can the VE Code Wiki be improved?

  From SoulSolutions: What do you think we could do to make the WIKI better It was suggested that people prefer to have a reference to show that they contributed, I actually ripped all the login stuff out to make it easier. The suggestion is to put another field in where you put your name as the contributor. What do you think Also the ViaVE site has become a target for spam so I put a Captcha control on the wiki page with a little unexpected feature, when you create a new page no matter what you type in for the Captcha it will fail the first time. So if you are adding pages don't even bother filling the captcha out the first time, it won't loose anything when it doesn't validate. This is actually an effective way to stops bots an ...Show All

• rja07 Install CF2.0 SP1 on Start Up..

  We have a CE 4.2 device and need to install CF2.0 SP1 on start-up. We can make this happen by placing the CAB in a startup directory but when the CAB executes on start up we are always prompted to reinstall. This is our problem because when the device is deployed we do not have a keyboard or display. Is there an easy way to get the CAB to automatically install over the top without the prompt Thanks for that, its just a question of knowing where to look or who to ask, the answer is 'usually' out there. cheers See this for CAB installer command line options: http://blog.opennetcf.org/afeinman/PermaLink,guid,1de2284c-a65e-417c-a130-1bd5acd4ad3d.aspx ...Show All

• JasonG271009 How to create a Service appliaction for windows mobile 5.0 smartphone

  I have a application in for Windows Mobile 5.0 pocket PC. Now I have to Make it new one for Smart Phone From Client I have this feedback The essential difference between Pocket PC and SmartPhone is that instead of having the application implemented as a DLL (as with Pocket PC) it must be implemented as a service in SmartPhone . In the Pocket PC the application was implemented as a Today screen plug-in DLL; under that Operating System a Today screen plug-in is always available and running. In SmartPhone, the Home screen plug-ins work differently than the Today screen plug-ins; they're not always available in memory.
